I was very sad to hear of Gene's passing. I have wonderful memories of growing up in Columbia Heights next door to Gene and Reggie. The most vivid memory I have is of riding in Gene's green and white truck and having him close his eyes at red lights and wait for me to tell him when to go... Best wishes to all his family and friends.

Love always,
